Saudi Arabia: Cricket’s sponsorship dilemma

On this week’s episode of Stumped, should cricket care where its funding comes from?

Elsewhere, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma discuss the stand-off between India and Pakistan, which could see the latter boycott next year’s 50-over World Cup.

Plus, we’ll pick out our best moments from the group stage of the men’s T20 World Cup, including shock wins for Namibia and Scotland, as well as a rare hat-trick.
